I want to know how that Husky works out for you. I've been wanting to build a YZ125 for the woods for a couple of years now but I haven't committed.

I considered the YZ125, the KTM 150XC, and the Husky. Decided on the Husky after researching TT, CafeHusky and the KTM forum. The cost($4,299 OTD),free 144cc kit, and reliability are what sold me on the Husky. The YZ would have needed the same mods as the Husky and was $2,000 more. The KTM was closer to what I wanted but about $3,000 more. I started a thread over on CafeHusky.com about the bike and my plans for it if you're interested: http://www.cafehusky...s-weapon.39971/

I wish we would get some snow. We get a crazy cold front once in awhile, usually during the week, then it's back to high 60s on the weekends. Believe me I appreciate good riding weather, but it hasn't really been winter at all this year.

You know what I did with my WR today? I looked at it. Why? Because it's fricken winter! Stud my tires? How about add a track kit!I'M SICK OF SNOW!

Dude, I'm with you. I'm so sick of this winter. I feel like I live in Northern Michigan instead of SE Missouri. The ground is frozen into "tundra" like permafrost under the constant snow. A few weeks ago it thawed out and I got to ride, a total muddy bog, almost got stuck in a farmer's field. Now it's frozen solid again. It's even too cold to go out in the garage and work on the bikes, so I play on the computer and spend $$$ on them instead. If it doesn't warm up soon I'll be broke.

I have no sympathy for you. I'd gladly give you this cold and snow!!! BTW, it seems your WR didn't suffer any long term effects from running with out oil. My WR has frost bite.

Yeah, I think the bike is good to go. Starts/runs/sounds like nothing happened. I still examine the oil when I change it - everything looks normal. The clock is ticking when your drain plug falls out, that's for sure.

Well today was awesome. -10 when I left the house, but at least no fresh snow for a change. It made it up to a balmy 22 this afternoon. Thought I might break out some shorts for a minute.

I HAVE to start riding soon, I've spent every last dollar I have on all sorts of stuff I probably don't need. I'm not allowed to touch the checkbook, debit/credit card, paypal account, piggy bank........NOTHING! The only thing I can do now is set around abd post stupid things with poor spelling and grammar on TT!!!

Rocker, after hearing your story, I ordered a magnetic plug and have planned on adding a safety wire.

Good idea. I have a stock replacement drain bolt back in now but am going to order a magnetic plug soon. Safety wire is a good call as well.
I take a glance at my left boot every so often while riding now and a quick look down at the plug itself every time I stop.
